Chapter 412 Taking a Child for a DNA Test
Chapter 412 Taking a Child for a DNA Test
Chi Xuecan sneered: "Did I say something wrong? Don't forget, my brother is still in the dark about this. If he finds out that I haven't come back for so many years because of you, do you think you still have the right to stand here and yell at us?"
Chi's mother paused, clearly speechless yet unwilling to accept her fate.
"Are you going to leave now, or wait for me to call the police? I don't have much patience," Chi Xuecan said impatiently, a cold glint in her eyes. "Don't forget, you've trespassed on the residence of the young mistress of the entire Clausen family. If you get charged with this, sister-in-law, can you bear the consequences?"
Mrs. Chi took two steps back sharply, meeting Chi Xuecan's mocking gaze, and reached out to slap Chi Xuecan across the face. The maid beside her reacted quickly, grabbing Mrs. Chi's arm, her eyes icy cold.
Their eyes met, and Chi's mother was clearly guilty, but seeing Chi Xuecan's smug face, she couldn't bring herself to back down. She immediately roared again, "No matter what, I must take Yan Zuozuo back today! Anyone who dares to stop me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Don't be shy, bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve. My brother happens to be free right now, he'll be coming over for dinner later." Chi Xuecan said unhurriedly, watching her mother with an air of anticipation.
Chi's mother's expression changed drastically. She glared at Chi Xuecan and then turned to Yan Zuozuo. "I'll let you off the hook today, but I'll say it again: if you dare to get entangled with my son again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Yan Zuozuo felt a pang of pain in her heart and was momentarily speechless. Seeing her distress, Chi Xuecan shielded her behind her and retorted to her mother without hesitation, "Want to deal with Yan Zuozuo? Fine, bring it on! As long as I, Chi Xuecan, live, I will not tolerate your insolence in front of me!"
"I knew you'd protect Yan Zuozuo. It's your own fault for not coming back all these years, don't try to pin the blame on me! Chi Xuecan, I'm giving you face because you're a member of the Chi family, but if you don't know what's good for you and hand her over to me, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
"Oh dear, I'm so scared. Sister-in-law, I can tell you right now that I will not hand Zuo Zuo over to you. Also, the person you are threatening is not just a member of the Chi family, but the young mistress of the Clausen family. No one has dared to speak to me like this for so many years. I'd like to see what you mean by 'impolite'."
Chi's mother glared at her fiercely, and Chi Xuecan was equally unwilling to back down, making the atmosphere even more tense than before.
"I'm leaving first today, you just wait and see!" With that, Mrs. Chi turned and left angrily.
Once Mrs. Chi left, the villa quickly returned to calm.
Chi Xuecan turned to look at Yan Zuozuo, and was about to comfort her when she saw Yan Zuozuo biting her lip, looking like she was holding back tears, but that looked even more heartbreaking than crying. She reached out to comfort her, but Yan Zuozuo unexpectedly dodged, which startled her.
Yan Zuozuo stubbornly refused to shed tears. It wasn't that Chi's mother's words hurt her, but rather that she felt truly incompetent, unable to do anything. She could bear the injustice herself, but she never expected to drag others down with her.
She bit her lip tightly, remaining silent.
Seeing her like this, Chi Xuecan felt a pang of anxiety. Without giving her a chance to escape, she strode forward, grabbed her shoulders, and said, word by word, "Zuozuo, listen carefully. As long as Xiaoqingzi loves you, no one can possibly separate you. He tries so hard to protect you and wants you to be happy. You must not let go because of this, otherwise, you will really be letting him down."
Yan Zuozuo, her eyes brimming with tears, said, "Cancan, I feel so useless. Not only did I make my mother-in-law dislike me, but I also caused you to get scolded. It's all my fault..."
"You silly girl!" Chi Xuecan glared at her, feigning anger. "Your mother-in-law doesn't like you; she's blind. Xiaoqingzi and I like you, which means we have good judgment. Even if she's powerful, I don't believe she'd actually dare to make a move. This isn't just a simple family matter for the Chi family. Zuozuo, listen to me, don't give up. If you back down, not only will you be letting Xiaoqingzi down, but all our efforts over the years will be wasted. Don't forget, you still have two sons. Do you really want to separate from them?"
"No, I don't want to be separated from them!" Yan Zuozuo seemed to have realized something and retorted fiercely. She gritted her teeth, her fists clenched tightly, "Whether it's the child or Mo Qing, I can't abandon them!"
“That’s right. So, don’t think about anything right now. Just rest well and get your health back so you’ll have the strength to fight with your mother-in-law,” Chi Xuecan said affectionately.
Yan Zuozuo nodded, her eyes shining with determination.
Watching Yan Zuozuo return to her room, Chi Xuecan frowned deeply. General Zhan's subordinates probably wouldn't spread rumors, but the actual servants in the villa might be a different story. If this got out…
She narrowed her eyes and called Meng Yuanfei, "Yuanfei, contact the Information Bureau and tell them to completely eliminate any negative news about Yan Zuozuo."
"Okay, I'll do it right away."
In the room, Yan Zuozuo lay quietly on the bed, her thoughts churning. It was clear that Chi's mother was becoming increasingly intolerant of her. Today's events were just the beginning, and she feared that things would only get worse in the future. What should she do? Moreover, what would Chi Moqing think if he saw those photos?
Wait, how did those photos get leaked? According to Meng Yuanfei, no one should have been present in the hotel at the time, let alone know about these things. So how did the photos get there? Or did someone do something on purpose?
Her mind was in turmoil. She took out her phone and looked at their family photo. There was Chi Moqing and two children in it. She couldn't help but reach out and touch their faces. This was the most important family member in her life. She couldn't give them up.
Lost in her thoughts, she soon fell asleep. In her dream, she kept seeing Chi Moqing standing still, and she kept trying to get closer to him, but she could never hug him. No matter how much she screamed or shouted, she couldn't reach him.
"Husband, don't go!" Yan Zuozuo screamed, suddenly opening her eyes, her whole body covered in cold sweat.
It was just a dream...
She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was already past five in the afternoon. She picked up the remote and turned on the TV, intending to go to the bathroom to wash up and clear her head, when she suddenly heard the news broadcast on TV.
"Entertainment Headlines: Even Entertainment Bro is Domineering! Let's take a look at the hottest breaking news that Entertainment Bro has just gotten his hands on. Speaking of which, there's this special woman who's outside the entertainment industry but always dominates the top entertainment headlines. Who is she? Oh my, isn't she the former heiress of a top wealthy family, Ms. Yan, who was constantly rumored to be having affairs with various rich young masters and ended up sending her husband's aunt and cousin to prison..."
Upon hearing the entertainment news broadcast, Yan Zuozuo froze, staring in astonishment at the story. The content was nothing more than about a woman surnamed Yan who, while her husband was away on a business trip, had been seducing various wealthy young men, even manipulating her husband completely. The host, "Entertainment Bro," portrayed her as a wicked woman who had committed adultery and was solely focused on seizing her husband's family fortune.
"I've heard that countless noble ladies have fallen to this woman surnamed Yan. The world is ever-changing, and people's hearts are no longer what they used to be. I can only sigh once again: these days, it's not the perverts we fear, but the perverts who fight like this..."
Each word "pervert" was like a sharp knife stabbing into Yan Zuozuo's heart. She was a pervert? How could she be a pervert? These scumbags slandered her without any evidence. They were the real perverts!
Yan Zuozuo was filled with rage, and she felt an urge to smash the television. Who was so malicious as to slander her reputation? Although the faces of the people in the broadcast photos were blurred, those familiar with the show could easily recognize her and Fisher.
Yan Zuozuo stared at the TV for a long time. Although she tried her best to deny that it was Chi's mother who did it, it was obvious that Chi's mother had given her the photos that morning, which showed that Chi's mother had already taken action.
Since Chi's mother wants to force her to divorce, she will naturally reveal her residence to reporters. I'm afraid the villa is already surrounded by reporters. Should she continue to stay here?
"It's rumored that this woman surnamed Yan has given birth to twins. Her husband's family says they want to take the children for DNA testing. If it's confirmed that the children are from her husband's family, they will strip her of custody and sever all ties with her. If the children aren't from her husband's family, she and the children will be kicked out of the house..."
Should I take my child for a DNA test?
Yan Zuozuo felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Heavens, no matter how much her mother-in-law disliked her, she couldn't use the child as a pretext! This was simply too much!
She stared intently at the television, determined to retaliate fiercely if Chi's mother dared to use the child as a pretext.
Holding her breath, Yan Zuozuo went into the bathroom to wash up. After being soaked in cold water, her thoughts gradually calmed down. No matter what, she would never back down this time. For Chi Moqing, for her child, she was determined to fight to the end!
Taking a deep breath, she called Chi Xuecan. Although she had calmed down a lot, her voice still trembled slightly. "Cancan, have you seen the news?"
Chi Xuecan paused, surprised that Yan Zuozuo had already seen it. She sighed and said, "You know? Your mother-in-law has really gone too far this time. Don't be nervous, leave this to me. Just turn off your phone and take good care of yourself..."
"No, Can Can, I've decided to face this myself. I can endure anything, but I absolutely will not allow my mother-in-law to slander my son like this. I'm not going to back down anymore!"
"Zuozuo, listen to me, don't act rashly. The photos are real after all, and you're in the wrong right now. Even if we know it's just a matter of angle, others don't. If you stand up now, you'll only attract more insults. Don't forget, your mother-in-law is a powerful and influential person; you can't fight her."
Yan Zuozuo gasped sharply, her heart sinking.
"Can Can, does that mean I have no choice but to swallow my anger?" A pang of pain shot through her heart, and her eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. She couldn't even protect her own child's reputation; what else could she do?
"Silly girl, who said you should swallow your anger?" Chi Xuecan noticed that Yan Zuozuo's emotions were unstable and couldn't help but worry. "Your main task now is not to overthink things, but to take good care of yourself. I'll handle the rest."
Yan Zuozuo was in tears, feeling utterly humiliated.
